Abundant wind energy resources in China, the China Meteorological Administration from 2004 to 2006 organizations in the Third National wind energy resource survey results show that China's total reserves of wind energy can be developed about 4.35 billion kilowatts. Which can be wind energy development and use of land reserves are 600 million to 1 billion kilowatts, offshore wind energy reserves are 100 million to 200 million kilowatts, for a total of about 700 to 1200 million kilowatts, the development potential.
And when accompanied by massive generation of greenhouse gases, acid gas emissions compared to thermal power, wind power does not produce, including carbon dioxide, including any harmful gas emissions. It is estimated installed capacity of 1,000 kilowatts of wind power, the annual generating capacity of 20 billion kwh per year to 20 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, saving 6.6 million tons of standard coal.
    The end of 2008 to wind power installed capacity of provinces and regions, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of wind power installed capacity has reached 3.78 million kilowatts, the wind power installed capacity has the largest number of provinces, autonomous regions, Inner Mongolia Chifeng City has become the first wind power installed more than million kilowatts of prefecture-level city. At the same time, the wind power installed capacity of more than million-kilowatt 3 provinces, namely Hebei, Liaoning and Jilin. More than 500,000 kilowatts installed capacity of 5 provinces, namely Gansu, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Xinjiang, Jiangsu.
    As of the end of 2008, the national five power generation groups total installed wind power has a total of 6.852 million kilowatts of scale. Among them, the Guodian has installed capacity of 2.88 million kilowatts of wind power, ranking first; Datang Group has wind power installed capacity of 2.15 million kilowatts, ranking the second place; Huaneng Group has installed capacity of 1.118 million kilowatts of wind power, ranking third in the ; Huadian Group and China Power Investment Group, which has a wind power installed capacity of 376,000 kilowatts and 328,000 kilowatts.
China Meteorological Administration, the Third National Organization survey also showed that wind energy resources, China's wind power resources are not only rich, and the distribution of basic uniform. Southeast coast and its islands, the Tibetan Plateau, northwest, north, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and northeast parts of the wind energy reserves are all relatively rich region, Gansu, Shandong, Jiangsu, northern Anhui and other regions also have a large proportion of the effective use of wind energy resources . From Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia is a large wind band, along with many large vents, such as the Zhangjiakou region, Poyang Lake area, Yunnan, Dali and so on. These are focused on wind energy development and utilization of favorable conditions.
    Expected future development of wind power in China, will focus on relying on the "Three North" and the abundant wind energy resources in Jiangsu coastal zone, "building a large base, into the bulk power system" approach to planning and layout. Respectively, in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Gansu, Xinjiang, Jiangsu and other provinces build more than ten million kilowatt wind power base and seven million kilowatts of wind power base, and the formation of a number of "wind power three gorges", wind power in the local regional power supply will reach a higher proportion. Meanwhile, the breed has independent intellectual property rights and over-megawatt wind turbine and component brands, wind power technology and equipment, the basic ability to meet international standards. In addition to focusing on the development of wind power on land, will also accelerate the pace of development and construction of offshore wind power. Among them, coastal areas will become the pieces to build large wind farms in order to gradually form coastal Jiangsu million kilowatts of wind power base. By 2020, China's total installed wind power development is expected to more than 100 million kilowatts of scale.
